Ali Charaf Damache faced extradition proceedings over US terrorism conspiracy and attempted identity-theft charges at Dublin High Court, reported on 8 September 2014.

The US alleges he conspired to provide material support for terrorists and attempted identity theft to facilitate international terrorism.

The case continued before Mr Justice John Edwards, while defence counsel said any US detention location was “very much an issue”.

Damache had pleaded guilty to sending a menacing message by telephone and was sentenced to three years, then released immediately after custody since March 2010.

The report said he faced a potential 45-year prison sentence if convicted in the United States.
